ALERT: California “billionaire-backed” city facing backlash after city officials refused to meet with a company planning on building a $3.2 billion port and are now moving to Texas.
Saronic Technologies, an Austin-based defense contractor, was planning on building “Port Alpha,” an autonomous shipyard, in Solano County but has now switched to Brownsville, Texas.
Saronic, whose port is projected to bring in 10,000 jobs, sent executives to Solano, but state Senator Christopher Cabaldon and the Solano County Board of Supervisors refused to meet with the company.
Vacaville Mayor John Carli torched the officials, saying, “What a profound dereliction of duty. You don’t win 10,000 jobs by insulting the company bringing them. Solano County deserves leaders who fight to open doors, not lock them from the inside.”
California Forever, backed by Silicon Valley heavyweights and Jan Sramek, was blamed by Cabaldon because they “held the shipyard proposal hostage by tying it to their unpopular housing development proposal.”
Have all the longevity experiments gone haywire or am I just too darn ole school? The Brian Johnson story is one of extremes but sure feels like the whole "aging" spiel needs a total reset from trying to game the system to one that focuses on the basics, not just trying to "extend" life but to really life it.
